The Ordine Nero (error: {{lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) was an Italian militant fascist group founded in 1974 following the government's dissolution of the right-wing Ordine Nuovo. Between 1974 and 1978, bombings by ON led to a number of woundings and one death, and the group assassinated Assistant State Attorney Vittorio Occorsio, prosecutor in the trial to dissolve the Ordine Nuovo, in 1976.[1]

An ongoing controversy over the group is its role in any strategy of tension endorsed by elements of the Italian government or NATO. Bomber Vincenzo Vinciguerra alleged that the Italian security services and the "Atlantic Alliance", particularly the United States, had a role in the group's activities.[2]
